IBM i Currency Debt:

How It Compounds, and How to Get Out.

 
ONLINE EVENT:
OCTOBER 8, 2026 AT 13:00 - 13:30 PM EDT  

Join GlassHouse Systems' experts Gary Watters and Mike Smith for an insightful discussion focused on helping organizations strategically plan hardware and software upgrades while managing today’s challenges.

If you crossed September 30 on 7.4, nothing exploded. That's the problem: extension fees make standing still feel free, right up until the first CVE that doesn't get a fix or the auditor who asks why the ledger runs on an unsupported OS. This isn't a 7.4 story — it's the same wall every release hits. 7.3 shops know it. 7.2 shops are living it. In 30 minutes, we'll show you the pattern, then exactly what an audit finds when we look.

What you'll take away
  • What extension actually covers, and what it quietly stops covering
  • The four ways currency debt compounds: fees, skipped releases, the hardware cliff, PTF debt
  • Anonymized audit findings for three profiles: 7.4 going into extension, 7.3 and older, and current releases that only look current
  • The six blockers we find most often, and the two that actually delay an upgrade
  • How findings become a runway in quarters, a planned window, and an exit date for extension
 

This webinar is ideal for:

IBM i infrastructure and platform owners
IT Directors and Technology Leaders
Operations and Finance stakeholders involved in upgrade decisions
Organizations planning—or postponing—IBM i hardware or OS upgrades
